I have one of each but my open class pump gets FAR more use. Stockclass is ALOT of fun but being as i mostly play walk on and scenario games its really hard to compete against the semi auto guys with my PGP. At least using the Trracer i can auto trigger and sling a bit of paint in a pinch.

Stock class! I played open class but have since switched to stock class for every kind of game I play. All I have is a Sc Phantom actually.
I may get an open class pump again sometime, but I'm debating if I really need it...

this.. I still have an OC pump but it's my free gun to rent out to friends who are looking to try pump (or paintball in general) for the first time

I play stock class because it's way more fun to me, and I'm better at it then I am open class

If you show me an inch, I'll show you the dead-box.

I only play Open Class because that's the only style of pump marker I have lol.

I chose open class to try first because I'm a convert from electro's. I wanted something that would at least look and feel similar to my Intimidator. Not to mention I LOVE tinkering on my guns so building a Sniper was a no brainer. My sig says what I'm building currently . I only plan on having one pump marker, so I'm going all in on it, every last upgrade I can get I will.

russc, get one of those R7's toss on a CCI T-stock get josh to run you a falcon barrel. then UPgrade your newbie walk on marker.

It would take a bit more than that... that gun is totally decked out, but you wouldn't know it just looking at it.

It's got a Lapco bolt and fluted hammer, a prototype "Leprechaun" valve from y0da900, and gets 40 shots at 280 fps average with zero drop-off at 650 psi through that PPS Stabilizer.

I'd have to make a new valve body to put that gas system on a Retro 7.

But that said...I think I'd definitely run the Retro 7 as a walk on gun. I'd just take the top tube off and run it like this. They were designed with real pistol ergonomics in mind, so I wouldn't want to ruin that with a stock!

oldschool play is about sportsmanship and respect, oldschool gear is available on Ebay.

I see open class as basically an inconvenient mech due to it being the same size, weight, etc.It doesn't seem to have any advantage whatsoever over my automag.

However, stock class is a much lighter and tighter setup (even as MSC), a worthwhile tradeoff for the lack of firepower IMO.

This. If I'm going to have a hopper and a tank, might as well be a semi.

Stock class gives me a speed/stealth advantage, it just makes more sense to me. Unless you really just like the physical action of pumping a gun I don't see why not just use a mech and conserve ammo better, but have a little more firepower when needed.
